Vehicles over 6,000 lbs GVWR (list)

$45,000-$150,000

Which Cars Qualify for the 6,000 lb Tax Write-Off?

Short answer: Full-size SUVs and pickups like the Escalade, Tahoe, G-Wagon, Model X, F-150, and Ram 1500 are commonly over 6,000 lbs GVWR.

GVWR (not curb weight) is what counts, and it varies by trim. Business use must exceed 50%, and SUVs face a separate Section 179 cap, though bonus depreciation can cover the rest.

Records to keep: Keep a contemporaneous mileage log (date, miles, business purpose), business-use percentage, the purchase contract, and a photo of the door-jamb GVWR sticker.
